ridevendor:
Honestly…

I used to think people were exaggerating when they complained about maintaining a car in Nigeria.

Until I sat down one day and calculated everything properly.

And I won’t lie… I was shocked.

Let’s Break It Down

This is just an average car owner trying to maintain a decent vehicle.

Not even luxury.

Fuel

Depending on movement:
₦10,000 – ₦30,000+ weekly

And if you move around a lot?
Even worse.

Maintenance

This one humbles people fast.

* Oil servicing
* Brake pads
* Suspension
* Tyres
* Battery

One small issue can suddenly become:

> ₦80k
> ₦150k
> ₦300k

Just like that.

Nigerian Roads

This one deserves its own section honestly.

Bad roads damage:

* Tyres
* Shock absorbers
* Alignment
* Underbody

Sometimes it feels like the road is fighting the car personally 😅

Other Hidden Costs

People forget:

* Car wash
* Parking
* Insurance
* Documents
* Traffic stress
* Unexpected repairs

Everything adds up quickly.

WHAT SURPRISED ME MOST

I finally understood why many people now:

* Use Bolt more
* Rent cars occasionally instead
* Or delay buying another vehicle entirely

Because owning a car in Nigeria today is almost like managing another responsibility on its own.

THEN I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING

A lot of people complain about:

* Car rental prices
* Transport prices
* Driver costs

But after seeing what car owners spend regularly…

I started understanding the business side better.

Especially for operators managing multiple vehicles.

MY HONEST OPINION

At this point, reliability matters more than “forming”.

I’d rather use:

* A well-maintained car
* With peace of mind

Than force luxury and end up stranded somewhere.

LET’S DISCUSS

Car owners here:

What shocked you most after buying your car?

* Fuel?
* Maintenance?
* Nigerian roads?
* Spare parts?

Or do you think people are still exaggerating?

FINAL THOUGHT

Owning a car in Nigeria is no longer just about buying the vehicle…

The real challenge starts AFTER purchase.

It was cheaper until Buhari came in

Whether you’re buying your first car for personal use, work, or ride-hailing, this list highlights options that are generally easy to maintain, fuel-efficient, and widely used in Nigeria. Prices can vary based on condition, year, mileage, and location, but the ranges below give you a realistic picture for new and used purchases;

In all thy getting...avoid honda

Mavor:
Which would you go for, I am specifically concerned about the following

- Durability for Lagos roads
- Durability for Nigerian various fuel types
- Cost of maintanance
- Resale value after 1 - 2 years.

Thank you.

How do you discard your wedding ring after losing your partner?

Some people say you should place it in the casket before burial; a final gesture of love and closure. But what happens if, like me, you didn’t think of that at the time? Does that now carry some deeper meaning, as some might assume?

I’m simply asking, sincerely: how do you part with your wedding ring?


Copied

Why discard it, keep it as a memorial

Psg will beat them black n blue

Bayern no get defence

My 27 years old brother has been a chronic gambler for years now, we just discovered he use a huge part of his Salary to play bets. Then after he make excuses when it comes to necessary bills payments. He work in a firm where he make 150k monthly but nothing to show off. I have tried talking to him but he won’t change. Please how can we help him.

He needs proper support, not just advice. Encourage him to seek help through therapy .

If its possible, his account should be monitored with only needed funds released to him

He destroys all parties he visits

Kalatium:
This is one of the hardest realities many men never prepare for.

It is not just the pain of what happened in the marriage.
It is the responsibility of explaining it to children who were not there, who did not see what you saw, and who will naturally hear the softer version first.

Because when things fall apart, children don’t hear everything.

They hear what is safe.
They hear what is simplified.
And most times, they hear one side.

Now imagine sitting in front of your children and trying to explain:

That you discovered their mother had a child before marriage and hid it.
That you caught her being unfaithful.
That she presented one character before marriage and became someone else after.
That there were boundaries crossed you could not accept.
That there were patterns you tried to endure, but could not continue living with.

How do you say these things without damaging how they see their own mother?

Because no matter what happened between both of you, she is still their mother.

And this is where many men get stuck.

If you speak the raw truth, you risk breaking their image of her.
If you stay silent, you risk being misunderstood and judged unfairly.

So what do you do?

You choose discipline over emotion.

You don’t lie.
But you don’t weaponize the truth either.

You explain it in a way that protects their mental space without completely denying your reality.

You say:

“There were serious issues in the marriage that could not be resolved.”
“We both made decisions that led to us separating.”
“It was not a healthy situation for us to continue.”

You don’t go into graphic details.
You don’t turn it into a courtroom.
You don’t recruit your children to take sides.

Because once you do that, the damage spreads beyond the marriage.

Children are not built to carry adult conflicts.

They don’t need every detail.
They need stability.
They need emotional safety.
They need to grow without being forced to choose between parents.

And here is the difficult truth many don’t like to accept.

Your children may never fully understand your reasons.

Not now.
Maybe not even later.

Because they did not live your experience.

But maturity is not about being understood.

It is about doing what is right, even when your story is not fully told.

You can carry your truth without turning it into a weapon.

Because in the end, the goal is not to win against your ex.

The goal is to raise children who are not broken by what happened between both of you.

That is the real responsibility.

Woman always play this card cos they are closer tobthe children
